As you know, we at Verde & Black are trying to chart the history of Austin FC’s first year as a club. Part of that entails expanding the focus of the podcast beyond soccer to include other el-ements from the city of Austin, including cultural elements and even other sporting elements. Today, we welcome our first representative from a different sport, professional golfer, Dylan Frittelli. For those of you who don’t follow golf, Dylan was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and attended the University of Texas where, as a senior, he sank the putt that won the Longhorns their first National Championship in 40 years. He has been working his way up the world rankings of professional golf ever since, currently ranked number 80 in the world. Dylan is fresh off a fifth-place finish at the British Open. He also finished fifth at the Masters Tournament last November, won the John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour in 2019, and had many successes on the European Tour prior to that. In today’s episode, we talk about some of the crossovers between golf and soccer, Dylan’s enthusiastic support for Austin FC, and his advice for parents with young, sporty kids, as well as what he loves about living in Austin. Tune in today for a fun and informal discussion with pro golfer and Austin FC supporter, Dylan Frittelli!
